World Debut of Porsche 919 Hybrid and 911 RSR at Geneva
Porsche is putting the emphasis on its return to the highest level of international sports car racing at this year's Geneva Motor show. The highlight is the world premiere of the new Porsche 919 Hybrid for the top LMP1 category of the World Endurance Championship in 2014, with the 24 Hours of Le Mans as the undisputed highlight of the season. The new efficiency-based regulations of the WEC stipulate innovative hybrid drives; the 919 Hybrid can therefore be regarded as a research laboratory for the technology of future Porsche production vehicles. The innovative LMP1 race car will be flanked on the stage in Geneva by the Porsche 911 RSR which will also be racing in all eight rounds of the WEC this season, in the GT category.
Following the global unveiling of the Macan compact SUV last November at the LA Auto Show, Porsche is presenting the S Diesel model to the public for the first time in Geneva. The Macan S Diesel features a turbocharged 258 hp engine with PDK transmission, and lines up alongside the two petrol-engined models, the 340hp 3.0 litre V6 Macan S and 400hp 2.6 litre V6 Macan Turbo. Active all-wheel drive with Porsche Traction Management is standard on all models.
The 911 Targais also celebrating its European debut this week. The styling cues of this new model pay homage to the original 911 Targa design from 1960s. It features an innovative electric folding centre roof section, and curved glass rear window.
